Tom Ford Lip Color Sheers ($49.00 for 0.10 oz.) are available in eight limited edition shades. The formula is new (but limited edition!) for spring. Here’s a visual comparison of the eight shades together, and you’ll notice that the range leans quite warm-toned. Incorrigible (08) is the only shade that is cool-toned, and on some complexions, In the Buff (01) might lean pinker (less beige). The big takeaway from the reviews for these is that they are far more pigmented than the formula’s name or description let alone; if you were going to stay away because sheer lip color isn’t your thing, you might still want to check them out. If, on the other hand, you really wanted sheer color, you might want to look at the Lip Color Shines instead (or else use these very lightly!). You can read full reviews, get shade descriptions, dupes, ratings, and all that good stuff here: part one andpart two.

Incorrigible and Pardiso would be my favorites..though the rest of them look quite nice too..I did think these might be sheerer, going by the description, but at least they look and feel light on the lips.Radhika Recently Posted: MAC Eyeshadow: Swiss Chocolate

Tom Ford sure has a funny definition of “sheer”, but those rich, glossy, opaque colours are my favourites nonetheless. As with all his shades, though, it’s a question of whether or not it’s worth the money when a lot of the shades seem fairly easy to dupe at lower prices. I really feel that if the brand wants to grow, they have to start offering more shades (especially lipsticks) that have something truly unique to offer. Just my opinion. They still look beautiful.Kate Recently Posted: making faces :: i am curious, yellow

Yes? and no? They’re probably not in my top 3 formulas. I find the range… boring? personally. The formulas are nice, but it either has to be the perfect shade for my skin tone or a little more unique to justify at this price. Some of these are really pretty, and I think I might pick up the more coral-y hues (like Summer Fling and Sweet Spot). I’d rather go Guerlain at this price point, or even Cle de Peau (which pushes higher), and then there’s Givenchy Le Rouge, which is $10+ cheaper, and Buxom Full-Bodied — all ranges that I really love.

That being said, I loved Tom Ford’s Rouge Fatal from holiday, and that might be one of my all-time favorite TF colors I’ve tried.

I’m not terribly familiar with this brand, but do you know how often they bring back shades, if ever? Maybe I can put this on my wishlist/lipwear to look out for or spend 98.573% of my free time trying to find a dupe. 😉

I love your round up posts! I remember when you used to do them after every MAC collection, before people complained that it made the blog too MAC heavy. I’m sure these posts take a bit of extra time and effort, but I really appreciate them! It’s nice to get a kind of final word on the product/collection, and a breakdown of what’s warmer, cooler, sheerer or more opaque.

I’ll add a third thank you! These reviews are so helpful! As are the dupes and roundups. Given that I rarely have time to make it into the store I wouldn’t know what to buy otherwise. Thanks!meganlisa Recently Posted: YSL Beauty Rouge Volupte Lipstick in 17 Red Muse

You need to go to the actual reviews to view all of the photos (both parts are linked in the post above) – e.g. skin swatches, product photos, ratings, etc. This is just a recap of the original, in-depth posts 🙂

Being neutral to cool toned, I agree that the only ones that would work for me without swatching would be 01 and 08. 03, 04, and 07 would need to be swatched cause they might work. I love Sweet Spot, but out of all of them it’s the warmest to my eye! Sometimes I get lucky and a warm lipstick will become kinda neutral based on my lip shade, making it great to wear! I feel that I wouldn’t get so lucky with that one though.

btw Hi! I’ve been on temptalia for awhile but never joined or said hi! I have to say thank you christine for all the swatches and reviews as Australia’s always a season behind collections so I rely on temptalia to buy from the U.S and get them shipped here instead!

As in… it wasn’t a good formula or you just didn’t find it to be the very best formula ever?
